CapitaLand Investment (#CLI) has closed a new value-add office blind pool fund in South Korea with total equity commitment of KRW 200 billion (S$194.4 million). The private fund is a strategic partnership with KB Bank, an affiliate of the country’s largest financial group, KB Financial Group.

The fund has been fully deployed to acquire an operating freehold commercial property named Golden Tower, located in the heart of Seoul’s Gangnam Business District. Leveraging its commercial management expertise, CLI will also receive recurring fee income as the asset manager of the property. Golden Tower is set to undergo an asset enhancement initiative (AEI), further boosting CLI’s fee income when the AEI is completed by 3Q 2025.

What do a laptop 💻, an iPhone 📱 and the award-winning TV series #HouseoftheDragon🐉 have in common? A little-known fact is that they all likely had parts produced in CapitaLand India Trust’s (CLINT) business parks in India. Gauri Shankar Nagabhushanam, CEO of CLINT, shared this fun fact at The Edge Singapore's REITs Investment Forum 2024 recently. Counting Applied Materials India, Pegatron and Warner Bros. Discovery among its tenants, CLINT, which has a diversified portfolio comprising 10 IT parks, four industrial and logistics facilities, and four data centres, is seeing high occupancy of 96%. With a global shift of manufacturing and the hunt for talent, multinational corporations are now turning their attention to India and setting up base in the country. Shedding light on CLINT’s formula for success, Gauri highlighted CLINT’s unique forward purchase strategy, its ability to transform outdated buildings into modern, Grade A assets, its strong leasing teams and focus on green initiatives. Success stories include the redeveloped International Tech Park Hyderabad – Block A, which has driven substantial growth in valuation and revenue and attracted top-tier global tenants such as Bristol-Myers Squibb India Pvt. Ltd. and EY. International Tech Park Chennai, which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, is now outperforming the revenue generated pre-pandemic, following a series of initiatives by the leasing team to boost rental revenue and asset value.
